Dainty Articles for Feminine Wear.

The other day a fashionable store in
Philadelphia devoted the whole of one
of it's windows to the latest fads in
feminine hose. Imagine a scarlet silk
stocking with black-beaded serpent
twisting around its entire length, with
the reptiles head resting on the instep!
Another pair Of light blue with pink
moss rosebuds embroidered all over;
yellow silk hose with butterflies of nat
ural size in all the colors of the rain
bow; white silk hose, with beaded stars
and those of black silk with the instep
composed OF the richest white lace; a
pair of pale green hose with simulated
pink ribbon bows up the front. There
were handsome black silk hose with
red Holsters embroidered on the instep,
while others had a big green frog with
bead eyes, with his opera hat on, all
ready to ego a-wooing.D Since the
washable knitting silk has been manu-
featured many girls have revived an al
most lost art, . that of knitting their
own stockings It is pretty and con-
venient fancy-work. They wear better
than those made by machinery and are
much less expensive. Some of those
described above cost 500 pair. A
young lady now at Cape May has Just
completed pair of black silk stockings
embroidered with pink rosebuds They
are durable enough to last lifetime.
